hi all!

As someone who had been applying for jobs for the past couple of weeks , it has been super stressful!!๐Ÿ˜ฃ
However I think God works even through it all and i'm so grateful !

The faith in an anxious world workshop had helped me to process through the anxieties and one example would be my daily replay for wednesday.
I had just went for my first part time job shadowing and first class and felt pretty anxious getting into the lesson.
After the daily replay, I realised my anxiety wasnโ€™t because of one factor but three ! Funny how your brain condenses issues into one singular problem to make it seem like nothing much happened, maybe itโ€™s a survival thing (iโ€™m not too sure but maybe!)
Sitting down to organise my thoughts and being in Godโ€™s presence is helpful and itโ€™s a habit iโ€™d like to get used to doing!

Join us this week sunday 13 July for our second FAW workshop !
Who knows, you might be able to walk away with more than just the Daily Replay !

Cheers! God bless!

Hi everyone, ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป

Last Sunday, we covered the topic of relationships and family in our Faith in an Anxious World series. Many of us were prompted to reflect on the last time we felt anxiety rise within our families. It struck me that every family has its struggles, even if we donโ€™t often speak about them openly. ๐Ÿค

I was reminded of Malachi 4:6, which says:
โ€œHe will turn the hearts of the parents to their children, and the hearts of the children to their parents.โ€
It reminded me that God is in the business of reconciling family relationships. So even when weโ€™re tempted to avoid the mess or feel overwhelmed by how deep-rooted things are, God sees, and He remains committed to restoring peace.

My prayer is for us to hold fast to our loving Father, trust in His heart, and believe that it is His joy to build familial love. โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿง’โ€๐Ÿง’

Hello everyone!! Hope youโ€™re having a restful weekend :)

This week, I wanted to share my highlight learnings from last Sunday's Korean service, where we had a powerful sharing by missionaries, M and G.

M spoke about his journey translating the Bible for locals in Indonesia and two things stood out to me.

First โ€” the power of language. As someone whoโ€™s always been interested in languages, I was reminded of how impactful it is when words arenโ€™t just translated accurately, but naturally. Every language has its own metaphors, expressions, and ways of communicating, and hearing how translation can shape someoneโ€™s experience of the Bible made me appreciate how important it is for Godโ€™s Word to feel personal and relatable.

Second โ€” was about calling. M shared his journey to being a translator and how sometimes things happen when he didnโ€™t expect them to or was uncertain. It reminded me that God's calling may not always look like what we expect, or even what we saw for ourselves. But over time, He reveals the parts we play in his plan

Their sharing really encouraged me to trust Godโ€™s timing more, and to stay open to unexpected paths. God has a unique plan for each of us, and our โ€œyesโ€ โ€” even when unsure โ€” can lead to something deeply meaningful.

So if youโ€™ve ever found yourself unsure about where things are going, this is a gentle reminder to trust the process and stay open to where God might be leading :)

If youโ€™d like to learn more of the the unique mission journeys and their impact in both the lives of our missionaries and the people they reach, the Missions Tea by R and P is coming up on August 2nd!

Sign up here today and weโ€™ll catch you there! ๐Ÿ˜„

Happy national day everyone! This week's message will be a little short as I felt that we should use this time to look at how far our nation has come and how God has blessed our nation for the past few decades! As I was teaching my classes during this week (in which the art class themes were all themed around national day) I had some time to look at how we have progressed as a nation , some including why we chose Vanda miss Joaquim as our national flower which is due to it's "resilience and year-round blooming quality"

I hope that we continue to pray for our country โ€” that we would continue to have good and responsible leaders that put the people first and that our country would continue to live in harmony while sorting out issues civilly and lawfully!

Once more happy national day everyone! Do enjoy the local festivities and mingle with the community!

God bless!

Last Sundayโ€™s sermon reminded us that Jesus is the epitome of love and compassion โค๏ธ โ€” a love that stops for the lost and diverts attention to the lonely.

In Mark 5, we see this as He raised Jairusโ€™ daughter and how He turned to the bleeding woman, offering both healing and dignity. ๐Ÿฉธ๐Ÿฉธ๐Ÿฉธ-> ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

So often, we forget that these are the dominant characteristics of God Himself. Yet how comforting it is to remember that our God has a deep desire to alleviate painโ€” and He acts on it. ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿผ

I pray that in moments of deep pain and anguish, His compassion will meet us where we are, and may we extend the same unto others. ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿƒ

Hey everyone! ๐Ÿ‘‹

Last week during the YA intergenerational service we offered verse packs for sale.

The packs were made by our very own legendary YA members who paired negative thoughts with scripture that refutes those thoughts.

They sold out very quickly! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Weโ€™ll be doing a second printing run of the cards, so if you are keen to buy a pack for yourself or someone you care about, please order here:
